Stream of Life

Sparkling water tumbling down
Effervescent in beauty
Reminds me of purity
Spotless, untainted.
Kids mother, my lovely mate,
Sailing down the stream of life,
Responsibly and caring,
Family and me.
Raising our children with love,
Caring for their well being.
Clean clothing, good meals prepared,
They know they are loved.
Lissome and charming is she,
Earning our children’s respect.
She is beautiful in our eyes,
Spotless, untainted.

I am glad you enjoyed the challenge James! Oh no, don't ever give up, many people have some very important communication to give the world, that only needs time to ferment in the heart. Congratulations again on your worthy poem's honored second place. Agape, MOses
